Busy day

Have been told this blog is 'live' (I'm showing my skills knowledge here) so will share our day on the farm
Had a double and triplets born all together overnight not sure who belongs to who anyway mums seem happy with the lambs they have been given this morning. 
Had a youth training group vist this afternoon from Plymouth for Mathew to show around the lambing shed, they loved it and a set of twins was born on que for them. This evening the Brownies came from Tavistock their ewe delivered her babies about 2 miniutes before they arrived. They decided to call an ophan lamb Tommy and another lamb Emily after the little girl whos birthday it was, we all sang her happy birthday. It is Mathews birthday tomorrow and the Browies sang to him as well.
Have had several lambs born today and now its time to check the ewes again and give the orphan Tommy his last feed and another lamb a top up as mum is not to keen on him. Hopefully an earlish night tonight as there is an early start in the morning. 5 finished cattle are off to the abbatior in the morning they have been sold to our local  farmer group called  Dartmoor Farmers Ltd.
